ข้าวอบไก่กุ้ง

Origin

Khao ob kai kung is a modern-style dish inspired by both Western and Thai cuisines. Developed in upscale or innovative restaurants in Bangkok, it uses baking instead of boiling to create a richer flavor and a crisp exterior with a soft interior.

Characteristics and Taste

Khao ob kai kung features golden-yellow rice baked until crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with a fragrant aroma from spices and oil. Steamed chicken and fresh shrimp are baked together, resulting in tender, juicy textures. The flavors are harmonious—sweetness from shrimp, richness from chicken, and aromatic depth from herbs and spices.

Ingredients

Jasmine rice, white meat chicken, fresh shrimp, olive oil, garlic, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, oyster sauce, fish sauce, granulated sugar, black pepper, parsley, lime

How to Eat

Serve khao ob kai kung in a baking dish. Drizzle with lime juice or sauce for added tanginess. Enjoy hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an aromatic finish.
